Talk:Meter

I would like to mention that the metre is a part of the SI system, but I am not sure about the word for "system". Is heren (order) ok? Has anyone a better proposal? Iron gollum 08:42, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I adopted pano 'arrangement' for 'organization' and 'system' in the other articles. Now I think I will opt heren for 'organization', but keep pano for 'system' as Latin systema once meant 'an arrangement, system'.--Bellenion 08:58, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Iron gollum 10:24, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

One more question: Wouldn't it be more correct to write metrë since the ending e turns into an ë? Iron gollum 10:35, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Here the title is actually an English word, so this page is to introduce metre in Neo Quenya, and this was why I didn't even try to make it sound like a Quenya. What do u think?--Bellenion 11:11, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, if we are going to use the metric system throughout this Wiki, maybe it would be better to adapt respective terms to Quenya orthography? Iron gollum 11:17, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Then let's just move metre to meter since -tr- is not a legitimate consonant cluster in Quenya.--Bellenion 13:11, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, then another question comes up: for "centimetre" and "kilometre", should we just render a Quenya-sounded 'sentimeter' and 'cilometer', or translate them to something like 'harammeter' and 'húmemeter'?--Bellenion 13:57, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I like the former more. I don't know any language which would use national number names in the same word with the metric system. Iron gollum 14:34, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
